On the bill:
6000 Mensonges
Simon Rieth, 5 mins
It’s the story of a detail that’s missing or never existed. The image of a child that we search for and try to recreate. Thousands of lies to find the truth.
Mes racines d’amour
Juliette Marrecau, 23 mins
In her mother’s absence, Alice, a lively, playful little girl (seven), is entrusted with looking after Paul (ten), her disabled older brother. Forced to stay by his side when she’d like to go swimming, Alice lets off steam by taking Paul on a wild dance.
Petit Spartacus
Sara Ganem, 28 mins
Between brandies and Eastern blocks, I sail with Spartacus, my Greek-speaking bicycle. But even the grandeur of the world isn’t enough to drown my sorrows.
* Entrée Libre for high school and university students with ID on-site/.edu addresses online.
